A miraculous escape from a terrorist bullet!

This report, taken from the Belfast Telegraph,  has brought back many memories of dark days long ago. The terrorist attack on Mountain Lodge Pentecostal Church in Co. Armagh took place on my 40th birthday, 8th November 1983.

The Kenny family lived a mere couple of hundred yards from us, on Garvary Hill, on the Tempo Road out of Enniskillen, when I was minister of Bethel FPC. I was familiar withMr and Mrs Kenny as part of the Christian community in Enniskillen.

The miraculous escape of Mrs Edith Kenny and her daughter and many others that night was a wonderful example of the mercy of God experienced by a multitude during those years of Irish Republican’s murderous terrorism.

It does not take too much insight to see the same spirit of murder at work in the recent Hamas attacks on the Jewish civilians in Israel on October 7th past.

(L to R) Son Ronald, Mrs Ronnie Kenny, Mrs Edith Kenny, with the plaster cover the wound left b y the bullet which struck her face, daughter Edith and her hymnbook whit the bullet hole.

Terrorism worldwide, irrespective of what name it goes under, is everywhere the spawn of the one who was a “murderer from the beginning,” John 8:44, the devil!

Here is that picture in the article of the Kenny family back then.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

The enemies of Israel should bear in mind the divinely inspired prayer which will, without a shadow of a doubt, be answered wonderfully by Heaven in God’s appointed time.

“Let them all be confounded‭‭ and turned‭‭ back‭ that hate‭‭ Zion‭.‭

‭”Let them be as the grass‭ ‭upon‭ the housetops‭, which withereth‭‭ afore‭ it groweth up‭‭:‭ ‭

“wherewith the mower‭‭ filleth‭‭ not his hand‭; nor he that bindeth sheaves‭‭ his bosom‭,” Psalm 129:5-7.

The Bible or ecumenical modernism – which?

This article touches upon the age-old satanic onslaught upon mankind by which the devil attempts to turn men from the truth of the gospel. Paul encountered that fact as soon as he began his missionary labours.

“And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord,” Acts 13:6-12.

It is to be noted that Paul dealt FIRST with the agent of the devil BEFORE Sergius Paulus was won to Christ!

I will be emphasising this element of God’s truth in this article.

The Lord bless you all richly,

THE CHRISTIANITY OF THE BIBLE OR THE ‘CHRISTIANITY’ OF ECUMENICAL MODERNISM — WHICH?

From the very beginning there has always been a counterfeit ‘faith’ and counterfeit ‘believers’!

Cain is, as it were, the ‘patron saint’ of ‘fake Christians’!

I. THE BIBLE REPEATEDLY WARNS OF DECEIVERS AND THEIR DECEPTION

I have mentioned Cain. It says of him, “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD,” Genesis 4:3.1 (more…)
